Figuring Time Warner out

Now I’ve figured out the internal logic of Time Warner’s local HDTV channel numbers here in Durham, I guess I’m a little less confused:

  • WRAL (CBS) 5’s HD stream is channel 255.
  • ABC 11’s HD stream is channel 211.
  • NBC 17’s HD stream is channel 217.
  • Fox 50’s HD stream is channel 250.

It leaves the choice of 201 for PBS still somewhat arbitrary, but what can you do?
